While the total lunar eclipse or Blood Moon, which will last for just 12 minutes today, might delight skywatchers in the eastern part of the country, some popular temples across Mumbai will remain inaccessible during the entire duration of the eclipse starting 2:29 pm to 8:30 pm. These include the Mahalaxmi, Mumba Devi and ISKCON Temples.

The Mahalaxmi Temple management has decided to keep the main temple off-limits for devotees during the eclipse period
